Tally Clock FAQ
How do I set Tally Clock as my screensaver on a Mac?
Install SCRNSVRS free from the Mac App Store, select Tally Clock in the library and click Set as Screensaver. macOS starts it whenever your Mac is idle, exactly like a built-in screensaver.
Can I use Tally Clock as a live wallpaper?
Yes. Click Set as Wallpaper in SCRNSVRS and Tally Clock plays on your desktop behind your windows and icons. You can use it as screensaver and wallpaper at the same time.
Is Tally Clock free?
Yes. Tally Clock is Free Forever in SCRNSVRS – no account, no ads, no subscription.
Is Tally Clock a video loop?
No. Tally Clock is rendered live on your Mac with Metal, so it never repeats and stays sharp on any display size. The clip on this page is a screen recording of the real thing.
Will Tally Clock slow down my Mac or drain the battery?
No. SCRNSVRS drops to 30 fps on battery and stops rendering when the wallpaper is covered by a full-screen app, so Tally Clock costs next to nothing in everyday use.
Which Macs does Tally Clock run on?
Tally Clock needs macOS Tahoe 26 or later.
